The event will be organized back-to-back with the European Evaluators´ Network Forum (EEEN) Environmental evaluation supporting the implementation of SDGs and transformative policymaking on 4-5 November 2020.
The Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER) project on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “Tackling and managing risks with SDGs (PEER-TRISD)” brings together public and private sector decision-makers seeking depth in their risk management or ambition in their SDG implementation to share solutions for integrating risk evaluation and management with SDGs. This workshop builds on co-generation work on how risks and SDGs are addressed in decision-making, literature analysis on risk systematization, multilevel analysis of measuring SDG and risk indicators, and experiences from integrating the assessment and management of SDGs and risk in water, urban and biodiversity conservation contexts.
The workshop provides a platform for representatives of government, cities, finance, industry and insurance, to address the question for sharing their solutions that support integrating the evaluation and management of risks and sustainable development goals. The workshop will engage participants to present and process solutions for managing risks and sustainable development through short presentations and facilitated discussions.
